Re: Y570 - Why do games run better off my battery and choppy when its plugged in?

So..These drivers worked well for me for about a day..Then restarting a few times, the stuttering problem was back again with all my games tested. So now I have just finished the driver rollback and everything runs perfect again.

Re: Y570 - Why do games run better off my battery and choppy when its plugged in?

I've fixed the lag that occurred after the update. I rolled back my driver then i downloaded my previous driver version (285.62) and I installed it, I chose custom and I ticked clean install. MW3 runs so smoothly again. I'm never going to update my graphics card again.

Re: Y570 - Why do games run better off my battery and choppy when its plugged in?

You guys are going to love me for this. If you are running the i7 version of the y570 (im not sure about the other processors) the turbo boost that is integrated in the chip is what is freezing the game. a quick fix is to go to your power settings. Control Panel -> Power Options. Make sure you have high performance on, then click change plan settings, at the bottom you will see change advance settings. when you get there scroll down to processor power management and set the max to 99% for both plugged in and on battery. keeping it at 99% keeps the turbo boost from kicking in and making the game act up. no need to use old drivers on your video card or anything like that. im fully updated and bf3 runs on high without even trying. hope that helps!

Also if it helps you click this star under my name so i know if it works for others

Sigh.. I kinda envy you velenso although I don't think I can sell mine which I bought at 999 due to its current condition (which is not in a bad condition)

Anyways yeah MW3 is now lagging with my computer. Also, does anyone else have problems with Assassin's Creed Revelations? Is it a really powerful game or is it something to do with our drivers again, because its fps is terrible around 15 fps. And even after trying to switch the maximum and minimum power management for high performance, I still had crappy fps issues.

I don't know about AC: Revelations, but I reinstalled the new drivers but this time I ticked clean installation and it works like a charm, no lag whatsoever. But I can't really feel a difference between this driver and my previous driver, I also change the option in the advanced power management options to 99% and I still can't feel a difference.
